Combat GIs
To Get Raise
WASHINGTON (JP) The Army
- said Thursday It plans to add $45
' to the August pay of front line
. soldiers In Korea if they spent six
days in combat in July.
The money, which will be paid
- out in a few days, will be the
first of the $45 a month combat
pay recently approved by Con
gress. The Army said it couldn't
estimate at present how many
men will get the additional cash
this pay day.
Several hundred thousand men
who have gone off active duty
will be eligible for back combat
pay, since Congress made it retro
active to June, 1950. The Army
said application forms for this
back pay will be available at post
office windows throughout the
country by Sept. 15. i
Maverick Defends
Vote for Stevenson
The "delegate who dared to be
different" Wednesday night de
fended his vote for Adlai Steven
son. Dave Epps, the one Oregon
delegate to the Democratic nation
al convention, who bolted the Ke
fauver block, said he knew Sen.
Estes Kefauver had no chance of
nomination by the third ballot, so
he felt justified in voting for Ste
venson, whom he preferred all
along.
Reviewing the convention he
said the real contest, all along,
had been "Stevenson against the
field." Kerr and Barkley were
not serious contenders, he said.
Harriman was running Just to
hold the New York delegation.
Russell, Stevenson, and Kefauver
were the real possibilities.
DENOUNCES TACTICS
Kefauver, he said, had little
chance, because he had only a
slight possibility of winning dele
gates who were not pledged to
him by state primaries. He also
took a crack at Kefauver's con
vention campaign tactics, charg
ing the Tennessee senator waged
a mean, anything-to-wm cam
paign." These tactics, he said,
alienated doubtful delegates.
Epps, Sweet Home and Albany
furniture dealer who began going
to national conventions in 1940,
695 I I".:
was lavish in his praise of Gov.
Stevenson. "Governor Stevenson
is Governor Stevenson's man," he
said; "he's not Truman's man or
anybody else's man."
"SUPERIOR INTELLECT"
The Illinois governor, Epps
said, "is intellectually superior to
Roosevelt, and with a sense of
humor far better than Woodrow
Wilson."
Senator Sparkman, the party's
vice-presidential candidate, Epps
said, has, in the Senate, "been
right on everything but civil
rights," and "as liberal as you can
get from the south." He predicted
Sparkman would be "like Hugo
Black. The minute they get away
from that environment, they turn
out to be decent people."
He discounted the charge that
Sparkman's name on the' ticket
would 'alienate Negro votes in the
north. "Everything," he said,
"points to the Republicans being
worse than we are" on civil rights.
If the Republicans win the south,
he added, it will be because the
Dixicrats, not the southern liber
als, prefer to take a chance on
what the Republicans will do
about civil rights.
ECONOMY ANGLE
Government economy, he said,
was not a valid campaign issue,
because "nobody's going to be
able to save a great deal." Too
much of the budget, he pointed
out, is earmarked for military ex
penses.
"Yet," he chuckled, "The Re
publicans are asking you to vote
for an Army general to cut down
expenditures."
After putting in a plug for the
party's state ticket, he quoted a
slogan he said was going around
the convention hall:
"If you want to live like a Re
publican, vote Democratic."

Cost of Living
At New High
WASHINGTON (U.R) The gov.
ernment reported Thursday that
the cost of living rose six-tenths
of one per cent to a new record
high between mid-June and mid-
July, giving more than 1,000,000
CIO United Auto Workers a three
cents an hour escalator wage in
crease.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said a "sharp rise" in food prices
pushed to new peaks both its old
style and new type yardsticks for
measuring consumer prices.
190.8 PER CENT
The new index stood at 190.8
per cent of the 1935-39 average,
12.1 per cent above the pre-Korea
level, and 2.9 per cent higher than
a year ago. The old index was
192.4 per cent of the base level.
Both General Motors Corp., and
Ford Motor Co., promptly an
nounced they will start paying
their hourly-rated workers the
three-cent hike on the first pay
period next month. Salaried em
ployes get an equivalent lump sum
payment next December. Other
companies in the auto and farm
equipment industry, with which
the UAW has escalator contracts,
will follow suit.
MEAT PRICES DIP
Describing the big food price
increase, the bureau said all items
rose except meats, poultry and
fish which dipped slightly and
beverages which were unchanged,
The "principal factor" in the
overall food rise was a "sharp"
increase in egg prices which rose
14 cents a dcnen or 23 per cent
between June 15 and July 15.
Prices of fruits and vegetables
averaged 1.3 per cent higher,
largely as tne result of a 1.8 per
cent hike in fresh produce.
